What this means for your family
This facility is frequently praised for its effective rehabilitation and friendly nursing staff, making it a strong contender for short-term recovery. However, families should be aware of recurring complaints regarding food quality and facility maintenance. We strongly recommend visiting in person to inspect the specific unit your loved one will occupy and asking about their process for ensuring hydration and hygiene for immobile residents.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is freaking awesome!!!!! I have not met 1 staff member who wasnt friendly and helpful. The facility is extremely clean and that's impressive because I am a clean freak!”
“The major complaint that my mother had was about the food. It was inedible. It was delivered cold almost all the time which made it even worse.”
“The facility, however, is in desperate need of basic maintenance and updating. The bathroom in one of the resident’s room has a sink that has run continuously for days.”
